Re: upgrade i5 to i7 !!!!

Thanks Jeff,

Humm, chat with Dell last night and he said my PC can use Lynnfield Processor kit i7-870, 2.93, 8mb , 95w , b1, and the only one processor that I can use. Dell doesn't sell this. Well this one is 2.9ghz. All the other xps 8100 has i7-860 as you have and the web carry Dell xps 8100 only i7-860, So this is making me more confuse. I will call or chat again about the difference processor type i7-870 and i7-860.

Re: upgrade i5 to i7 !!!!

I never build or replace PC before. If I upgade to i7, Anything else that I need to know after replace the CPU like down load BIOS or !!!!

Thanks you All for more detail about this machine. Now, I am cocentraded to buy i7-8xx. I just wasted money to buy i5-650, should buy i7 at the beginning. The cost will be more or less 250 dollars to upgrade!!!
